It was lame. Its melody was really bad.
Ok, it is your opinion. I am not big fan of Marie N, it is not my favourite eurovision song, but among the winners... yes, I like it, for me it is light dance retro song that at least does not annoy ( I really can't listen 2019, 2016, 2011, their voices hurt my ears, even if objectively they sing well)

01 🇬🇷 Greece 2005 // Helena Paparizou - My Number One
02 🇹🇷 Turkey 2003 // Sertab Erener - Everyway That I Can
03 🇸🇪 Sweden 2012 // Loreen - Euphoria
04 🇷🇸 Serbia 2007 // Marija Serifovic - Molitiva
05 🇺🇦 Ukraine 2004 // Ruslana - Wild Dances


There is some other honourable mentions ofc like 🇺🇦 2016, I wasn't hugely into the song but it still was a great winner. 🇮🇱 2018 was also a good winner, although at the time I wasn't a big fan. Despite how unpopular it seems nowadays I also very much liked 🇩🇰 2013 also.

Good list! But why do you hate Duncan / Arcade, may I ask?

it's just straight up the type of song i can't stand. i find it cold, calculistic, i don't like the melody, i hate his voice - especially that OOOOHHHOHHHOHOHOHHOHOOHOHOOOOOOOOH part which is insufferable for me, i don't give a damn about the lyrics, i never understood the hype and the fandom going "how can you hate this you don't have a heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" didn't really help either. the only redeeming quality for me is that it's well-produced, but that's nothing for me when i don't enjoy the song - and i would rather listen to a badly produced song that i enjoy instead. oh, and at least it was a piano ballad, not an acoustic guitar ballad, so it's not my ultimate nightmare.

i disliked all the songs he released post-show that i listened to. i really hate his voice.


i can really enjoy calculistic songs once in a while though. i find both destiny's entries that way and i enjoy both :lol:

I get the extra sentiment for 2006 for Finnish people. 2006 was such an epic flipping result in many ways due to Finlands poor ESC track-reccord. I think Finland in many ways have had an undeserving bad result historically, for instance some of my favourite ESC entries are from Finland in the 80's.

Good choices. Which is your least favourite on the other hand? For me 'I wanna' from 2002, very cheesy and sucky. She likely wouldn't have won without that dancing gimmick.
Which Danish entry (they won 2000 and 2013)?
But they won only once since 2001 (this is what this thread is about).

'Running Scared' is probably my 2nd least favourite after :lv: 2002. It wasn't dreadful like the latter for me but very 'mah' and I've always thought their live vocals were little off out there. And it is also one of the few fishy winners, you surely know what I mean.

But out of all Eurovision winners post 2000 I only don't like 4 winners (2001, 2002, 2011, 2013 - ok, this was pretty good for what it is supposed to be but overrated / not my cup of tea completely). 'Only Teardrops' were still in my lower top 10 though, but mostly because this year at the ESC was the ultimate 'mah' for me, chockful of forgettable entries and with some truly dismal ones like Slovenia. Even the worst one this year in my opinion (North Macedonia) is not as bad as some of the bad ones from that year.

Instead of ranking the winners, I made a quick graph in excel :geek:
